That’s wild. I’m 44, so that would be 29, and my girlfriend is 32. It’s about where I’m comfortable. Younger that 30 would be hard for me, I think.

I’m currently engaged to someone 12 years older than me, but the biggest age gap ever for me was 24 years. Wouldn’t call that one a healthy relationship, though.

Probably 10 years. A bit hard to say though, you can't really judge people by their age. It hinges way more on compatibility.

Idk. Age is a nondescript concept to me unless it's a overly young person. Depends on the individual.

My hubby is 12 years older.

Sounds like a very logical formula to me!! 😉😉😉

My ex hubby is 40 🙈 17 years apart. Were together for 6 years 🙃 I would date someone who's even 30 years older than me 🤷‍♀️

I don’t think there is a formula for what works... with that formula, you’re saying that a 47yr old could/shod date an 80yr old

.if they hit it off and fall in love... age shouldn’t matter...

I once dated someone 15yrs older than me. But I usually dated someone within a 5-10yr age gap.

Not sure. I’ve dated 8 years older and 18 younger. Age hasn’t really mattered in my experience. Some early 50s people have had a “young” outlook on life and some 20somethings prefer to stay home and watch movies. All personal preference and outlook on life.

I've heard of that too. Can date 2 years younger than me but no more than that and 10 years older than me max.

33 years older and no one younger than me🙅🏿‍♀️

Depends on the person, I think :)

Youngest probably 45. Oldest almost dead and rich.

Age is just a number, as long as it's not more than mine 😜

well I am 62 so that would say I was on to date a 38 year old. which seems reasonable enough.
Would I go younger, it depends on the woman in question,

My first wife and the girlfriend to follow her were both 3 yrs older .
My second wife was 12 yrs younger .
The last 2 were half my age .
None of them worked ,,I don't think a formula can help me .
Thats why I have remained single the last 8 yrs
I make a much better friend it appears .
The women I seem to attract think they own me ,I can't just be friends with other woman .
My kids and I help people ,thats what we do .
None of the women I have loved seem to believe you can help someone and not be trying to sleep with them .or them you .(I am not that good looking )
So now I stay single ,I don't have to defend what I do to anyone .

i got hooked on a 29 yr old. i am 64. i really didn't see him as that young.

10 years max

I've always loved older woman, and when I was younger(25yo) I often dated my friends Grandma's.. so 40 years upwards for me..
But now that I'm 70, the gap has closed up quite a bit to 15 to 20 yrs upwards..

I’d say for younger it’d be half my age plus 7 (heard it from a friend) so it’s be 19 as I may consider 18 but that’s pushing it I think. But as for older I’d say a maximum 7 year gap (I’m 23 so I’d go for 23-30) as I get older that age would go up obviously but you get the point

Interesting formula. Obviously the gap gets bigger as you get older.

At 57 your formula makes 35.5 acceptable. Which is laughable no 35 year woman is going to want to be saddled with me.

I think once into your 50s actually it needs to tighten again.... If you can been bothered any more 😂😂

I am 68 and right now I am involve with a 25 year old ,,,

🤷‍♀️

💜I deleted my previous answer...to give me a "do-over". I completely disregard your formula. I will soon be 25, so 18 would have to be the lowest legal age... that is the legal age in Oregon and the surrounding states. Since I am a teacher, I will follow that lower limit. As I searched for my previous answer on about page 7 or 8... this was an amazing question btw...I came across somebody's portrayal of the movie, "The Graduate"- a great movie btw. The older limit depends on- how well preserved the woman is... so easily 49, and possibly beyond that. When I was going to college, I ended up, one night, with the mother of a girl, that I did not know...but the girl attended the same college as me, and was away on a volleyball trip.😏

I don't think age is much of a factor.
My parents were almost 20 years apart, and they shared 56 happy years together.

i could imagine having a relationship with someone 20 years older, but not 20 years younger...

if the younger one is 30 or over, 15 - 20 years is fine. If the younger on is over 20 but 29 or less I would say 10 to 12 years.

She’s 24 years younger than me and we’ve been together almost 10 years.

Probably 20 years younger and 5 years older. But seeing that I am a very active person it would depend more on that.

I dated a woman 7-8 years older then me and it was great!
Also dated a woman younger and it wasn’t so fun.

Personally I’m not a fan of women under let’s say 28 now since I’m 34. The life gap is to great past that.
Also I don’t think going too much older would be fair either.

I definitely feel there could be a really good connection and romance but life points and goals would be too great. Think your formula is a good way to look at extremes

I dated a 42 Year old aged 27
Was no problem to me so slightly under the formula you gave but could date even older I think For younger 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hmm with that formula 50 and 32 seems a bit wide IMO but everyone is different

24 might be a bit too young for me 😬

24 years and she’s still here.

this would make it ok for a 100 years person to date a 57 years person...

Apparently 7 years . My hubby is 7 years my senior

10 years max

10 years but also when you fall in love age most of the time don't matter

39 y'old and in here "peak"...
